On the 21st of May, the Solar Impulse 2, which landed in Ohio, completed its 11th round of 13- the flight.

Flight from Tulsa International Airport, Arizona, to Dayton International Airport, Ohio, of Solar Impulse 2 lasts 17 hours.

Solar Impulse 2 will stop at Dayton airport until early next week. A spokesman for the program said the departure time for the next leg had not been decided.

According to the plan, Solar Impulse 2 has a stopover in the United States New York City before crossing the Atlantic to Europe or Africa.

Starting the world flight on March 9, 2015 from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Solar Impulse 2 is expected to fly a total of 35,000km and across two oceans. The average speed of Solar Impulse 2 is 50 to 100km / h and drops at night to save energy.

In July 2015, when landing in Hawaii after a trans-Pacific transatlantic flight in the eighth flight, Solar Impulse 2 halted its journey due to a problem with the solar cell.

In February, Solar Impulse 2 successfully flew and returned to its ninth flight.

Solar Impulse 2 is made of carbon fiber, weighs 2.3 tons, uses four 17.5 horsepower engines powered by 17,248 solar panels mounted on the fuselage and wingspan of 72 meters, of the Airbus A380.

This is the second solar-powered aircraft, after the Solar Impulse has completed a 26-hour test flight demonstrating that during the day solar batteries can have enough energy to use at night.

Solar Impulse 2 was built in partnership between Bayer AG, Solvay, ABB, Schindler, Omega and Masdar.
